Before & After Photos

The owners of this home in Hibbing, MN were experiencing issues with ice dams forming on their roof. Due to improper air-sealing and insulation, the temperature in an attic of a home will rise as the living spaces are heated. As the attic heats, snow will melt on the roof above and form ice at the edges of the roofline causing damage to gutters and roofing tiles. Looking for an energy-efficient solution, the homeowners reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, Austin informed the owners of the cause of the issue and educated them on insulation solutions offered by DBS.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfry led the installation of this project with help from a crew. First, the crew air-sealed the attic by filling in all gaps and crevices with ZypFoam™, a spray foam insulation that expands into tight spaces when applied to create a tight seal. Next, they sprayed a waterproof polyurethane foam over the flooring in the attic to complete the air-sealing process. Finally, the crew blew in 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation to thoroughly insulate the attic. A benefit of cellulose insulation is that it retains heat better than fiberglass batting insulation. It is also treated in a borate solution for fire-retardancy and pest repellant. 

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the homeowners can relax comfortably in their homes without suffering high energy bills.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team removed a small section of siding from the exterior of the home and drilled holes in the side in order to blow TruSoft™ insulation into the sides of the home. These holes are then patched up and covered with SprayFoam in order to air seal the area, create a moisture resistant barrier and prevent any air leaks in the home. 

This homeowner will now be able to finish their home renovations and stay warm while doing so.

This homeowner reached out to DBS due to experiencing significant cold drafts in their entryway where they store their coats. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended using our insulation services to help stop the cold drafts from entering the home. There was also a cabinet above the basement stairs that required new insulation due to old fiberglass that was originally there, which was causing chill drafts both in the entryway and around the house.

When our crew arrived at the property, they spray-foamed the rim joists in the basement and the floors and entryway were instantly warmer!

The owners of this home in Spooner, WI experienced issues with a musty smell coming from their crawl space and cold floors. They noticed insulation ads by DBS around town and reached out in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, he advised the owners to encapsulate their crawl space with 3-layers of insulation offered by DBS.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project with his team. Together they cleared out the crawl space to start with a clean slate. First, they installed a layer of dimpled drainage matting to assist the flow of water underneath the insulation. Next, the crew laid panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation to prevent frost in the wintertime. To Complete the encapsulation process, they covered the previous layers in a water vapor barrier called CleanSpace®. They also sprayed polyurethane foam insulation over the concrete block walls to completely air-seal the space.

Now that the crawl space has been encapsulated, the homeowners will notice how much warmer their floors are during winter. As a result of this, they will also not need to use as much heat to keep their home comfortable, so their energy bills will decrease significantly as well.
